"I am the Mechbay sentry.
I pride myself in precise weapons targeting.
I am an expert on 'Mech anatomy.
With my sensors I can detect the size of your liver.
If you value your internal functions,
and your continued existence,
you will not attempt any foolish actions,
on these grounds.

After a long history of 'Mech combat,
and hefty dinners,
I have been transferred to garrison duty
to guard this Mechbay.
I will refuse to be a sibmother,
or resign to a non military function.

I have to admit I love hanging out with Warhawks."
I serve here to protect this Warhawk facility."
Unguided 'Mechs that stray onto this location
are subject to my immediate response.
I am thrilled, as usual at the chance for combat,
and to warm my weapons pods.
And of course to get extra meals,
as a result of spoils from victorous battles.
Livers are my specialty, I chow them down greedily.
Once you loose a liver,
dying is the only option....
Hence my name.

I do not fear volleys of SRMs,
or bolts of projected particles.
I am Dire Wolf.. "

With a multi-ton gyroscope and powerful myomers in the limbs, BattleMechs can stand upright and remain balanced on their own, but the limited intelligence of BattleMechs and natural conservatism of their control computers means they often need to be told when it is acceptable to be off balance, which may be helpful in battle as MechWarriors push their machines.

I second that I LOVED the walking in MW3, slow and heavy.

It remembered you that you aren't a toy in a small playground but piloting a war machine fighting for strategic location.
And the speed played an huge role. I remember how hard it was to make my "Thor" speedy enough to blow up that fucking train, yet keep enough armor and weapon to survive all the other enemy mech.

And on the other hand it was pure pleasure to put around 12 Heavy Laser on a Daishi in Cold Cooling-friendly environment and blow the hell of enemy I locked with long range radar.

When I use the mechlab in MW3 I feel like an engineer.
When I saw the mechlab in MW4, I felt like I was treated like a kid.
